2011 was Bad — Some interesting observations on Indian Stock Markets

I was reading a few reports of Foreign broking firms. Some important notes out of it for the year 2011

Trading activity was marked by strong volumes in derivates markets (at record levels), even though the cash turnover fell to a seven-year low, and, compared with % of market cap, it was at its lowest level in history. The share of options trading to total derivatives trading climbed to 75% vs. 68% in 2010 and 52% in 2009.

After a tough 2010, domestic fund managers received inflows in their equity as well as fixed income funds.
